Just discovered Potbelly sandwiches.

Neighborhood Italian deli sandwich > Earl of Sandwich = Potbelly > Quiznos >>>>> Subway

Bad part is I work in fidi of Manhattan and there aren't any Italian delis for lunch.

Interesting, I've never noticed much variance at all with Wendy's bacon; it's usually surprisingly good when I get it. FYI: Wendy's Monterey Ranch Chicken Sandwich for $0.99 is back. I got that, a value fries, and a jr bacon cheeseburger for a snack today: $3.57. Wendy's also has those good ketchup containers that are great for fries. Wendy's

Haven't been to Waffle House in a while, but I always thought it was terrible. Not really fast food though, it's like a bad Denny's, isn't it?

Tried McDs Mighty Wings today. Totally disgusting and at $1 a wing hardly a deal.

There is basically no way a somewhat plain crispy breaded chicken wing could be rightly considered "totally disgusting". 'Not that good', 'meh', 'bland', 'too much/little spice', 'too much/little breading'? Sure. But "totally disgusting"? Not a chance.

A lo-fi Denny's isn't a bad description I guess. They have their own signature stuff. Hash browns are at the top. Check out variety of goodness here.
Coffee is pretty good too.

Anyone have A&W Bfast before? I always see 2 for $4 bacon & eggers/sausage & eggers but have never tried their bfast before. Usually 2-3 coupons for bfast on their coupon sheets every month too.

Unless they've changed it, they use the same buns for breakfast sandwiches that they do for burgers. Seems wrong to me even though it's not that weird.

Waffle House is the Wal Mart of restaurants. I'm surprised they don't have Waffle Houses inside Wal Marts.

It sucks that the closest Waffle House to me, in Minneapolis, is about 400 miles South.

I am spending a week in Tempe soon, will probably have to hit it up a few mornings.

By my calculations, this means you're Santa Claus.

Not really fast food, but SF lately has a bunch of places like these opening with really good, but sit-down restaurant priced burgers:
http://roamburgers.com/
http://www.umami.com/

umami is way overpriced, never tried roam but had a really great burger here http://www.sfgreenburgers.com/

I don't know what you guys are talking about WRT Umami. 9 bucks for the burger, but the quality of the ingredients is superb and the ketchup is ****ing amazing. Manly burger and splitting an order of fries/tots with someone else is more than enough food, and at like 11 bucks that's like going to 5 guys.

lol at bashing anything about it other than the fact that sometimes you have to wait an hour or more for a seat

I don't even know what you guys are referring to in terms of clientele since almost all cross sections of society seem to like waffle house.
